Just wondering who else is in the same boat? Im just over 15 stone atm and back to full training after some 3 odd weeks of rl crap t o deal with.

So if any one fances a little friendly competion to loose weight lets see some faces
If this goes ahead we will have start photo's and then after photo's. And winner is a vote.

All friendly banter so lets see who wants to join!

i'll do it but i only wanna lose 1.5 stone. Tryna improve my cardiovascular fitness at the moment as i have bad asthma

Well I need to get rid of some fat round the belly... Its been hanging there for a while now :-(
I'm currently bulking up and had planned to keep bulking unitl end of year (another 8/9 weeks)
For the New Year I wanted to start stripping the fat way, whilst keeping the hard earned muscle.
PJ suggested doing my cardio workouts after my weights, so the glycogen was burned up during the weights & the cardio then would be a fat burning exercise.
Need to assess my carbs too as Im not the best with regards to diet.
Im up for a bit of motivation in this exercise but the cutting for me would start Jan 1st, (if im not hungover ;-)

Lets start it from jan then? but keep posting how you doing up to then.
January down to summer.. try get those summer bodies ready ! ?

Ok sounds, I'll get a weigh in at the gym this week, which should give my current - weight / fat % / muscle mass.

can i join from jan in your diet contest im in the britain finals in may n have to loose about a stone i hope depends how much i eat over xmas,anyway good luck to you all and get on that bike!

Good to see a few more faces pop up. Looks like we got some good competiton now eh! :)

Probably the best idea to start after christmas because with the shorter days it's hard for me to get out on the bike after school.

If anything i'll put wait on untill christmas

no i mean the bike in the house,road bike to damaging to the knees,do before breakfast 40 min then before bed 20 min,abs 3 times a week,keep carbs about 200g n protein high n have that blow out meal once a week.

i am starting my diet on monday!!  ;D have got pumpkin pie to erat tonight first he he

well i am dieting for 8 weeks till christmas and then half way through feb after pct i will be dieting right down and this will be the first time i have ever been ripped, well hopefully i will be ripped!!!

ive just dieted for 29wks for the uk and it nearly killed me,but was ripped at 12st 11lbs,n now got to keep it up now bec of the sponser ship,but might have a week binge at xmas then hit it hard,

Right everyone stuff your faces now, eat as much as you can get down ya.... lets get massive.
Don't forget the all the naff calories with all that X-mas boozing too ... lol
January 1st - Post pics of those well earned fat bellies!
Then on the 1st of each month post another pic.
With each pic try to post - weight/fat %/ muscle mass (if you have access to a fancy set of scales)
Fron Feb onward indicate how much you've come down - or gained if you ain't been trying.... ;-)

Winner get a Stawberry Cheesecake in July! ;-)

how long will the dieting last for then???  am looking foreward to it!!....... well the getting lean bit not the actual dieting lol ;D

Well for me it will be until I can see a 6 pack - thats my goal for the New Year!

Oh and a better 6 pack than yours! ;-)

he he  well i have a ten pack to lose before you will see mine.......... game on!!   ;D ;D

guys, im not getting in on the act because i find dieting to lose weight easy its putting on i struggle with but i will like to drop something in to the equasion.

jan 1st take and post pics but you have to be holding a copy of the daily mail newspaper. to prove the date.

otherwise you could take pics now and post them jan 1st with 2 months head start.

good idea???

yeah dean lets make this a spectator sport  8)

we can even run a book on you guys  ;D

I like the sound of this.
Have a need to shed some SERIOUS lard, and this healthy competition should help with the motivation.

Glad the start date isnt till January, cos need till then to get to the point where i'd even post a starting pic!
19 stone as of this morning, and it aint quality weight believe me!

looking forward to this, good idea Tankuk!

i've heard somewhere that if you find a skinny kid they will have a 6 pack without doing any training except there day to day sport, i dont know how true it is but i was wondering if it's likely to be similar with me (15 year old) if i lose enough weight

Btw i'm 15 6' 2 and weight 13.5 stone what will my ideal weight be before i start weight training in a few years

Nice to see alot more faces! if we get a few more to double numbers..

Ill... add a prize! will post more to the date.


It will be good to enter if any one is reading this and hasnt posted..Why?Because we are all in the same boat..the boat to loose weight..And we can all help each other with diets/training or even a OMG KICK up the royal a**..ive done this before and lost over 4 stone in 5 months..so why cant you? Hell if i can loose that then i cant wait for the rea ldea in jan..

Its only you that can change your self..Doing so changes everything.. So rock on people and stay keen and keep posting here..from anything to what you up to,to hows your diet going..Keep the post active and lets keep people on the right track..with a bit of teamwork we will get a good contest and alot of fat bastards turned into the next PJ :p

tank doode, you been reading to many american motervation books? or just watched dvd of inderpendance day? ;D

either way the idea is a good one. for us lone trainers who lack competition. i'm uber competetive but in no way commited enough to go down the competeing agianst other proper bodybuilders. the thought of competeing aginanst other forum members would help me keep out the chippy ;D

Come on then guys - get postin ur pics lay urselfs down the challenge!

pic posting jan1st08 gives me a lil chance to to put some needed muscle on 1st :B

well im starting mine on monday for 8 weeks till christmas ...... but i will post a pic up in jan but i wont be dieting until after pct  so prob in feb , but i'm still in on this!!!  ;D ;D ;D

I don't think this will be very fair though tbh, i only wanna lose 2 stone, some people may wanna lose 4 stone.
If i reach my target 11.5 stone then i will have no need to carry on and my chances of winning are slim

at the end of the day its not really about winning, we all want to lose weight so doing something like this and encouraging each other along the way is a great idea, if we all reach our goals then we are all winners  :)

well said. you cant have a 'who can lose the most weight' comp or we would have to call it 'slimmers world' or 'weight watchers'.

i think the affect tank was after waz to get as many people involved as poss to set a target and post some pics so they would have other members keeping an eye on them and giving them moral surport along the way.

some guys find it easy to lose there way along the long road to fat loss. its so easy to get side tracked and forget where you have come from what your end goal is. by posting a start point and knowing other bb.co.uk fourm members will be keeping an eye out to see how your getting on it gives you another reason to stick with it. not to lose face so to speak.

Saying loose weight isnt meaning im going for weight watchers.. What ill be doing is loosing weight but aiming to put muscle on..So muscle weighs more then fat. So my weight will drop then balance out to where the muscle kicks in.

So bascily its before/after shots of whose made the best change. there will be a poll at the end for all members of this site to vote on.. yeh some may loose fat faster then others but feck it.If you wana big change,enter! :0

And yes i do get a little amercian some times..its  the bit of welsh in me. Defient till the end we are! :)

This isn't Weight Watchers Spongebob, its about losing the unessesary fat and looking ripped or buff, however you like to call it. The winner isnt gonna be the guy who loses the most - It will be the one whos gone from Sarnie to Arnie! :-)

Slightly off topic I had a wicked SHOULDERS night tonight, by the time I'd finished I felt like someone had thrown hydracloric acid over them... Were still burning when i arrived home for protein shake & dinner... lol

glad to hear it. i never have good sholder wo but arms were great as ever thismorning but i put back out at work! not to bad mnd,
